When water is heated and pressurized above the critical point, it becomes a suitable solvent to employ organic capping ligands to control and stabilize the synthesis of nanocrystals. Without alkanethiol ligands, Cu(NO(3))(2) hydrolyzes to form polydisperse copper(II) oxide particles with diameters from 10 to 35 nm. Ho…
It is shown that the flow of a simple Newtonian liquid near a hard wall can be affected by the chemical nature of this wall. We have studied with a surface force apparatus (SFA) the hydrodynamic force between a sphere and a plane immersed in glycerol. The drainage of the thin film is different on a hydrophobic plane a…
Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of reaction media, composition, and temperature on the rate of the alkaline depolymerization of poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT). The alkaline depolymerization of PTT was carried out at 160–190°C in ethylene glycol (EG), diethylene glycol (DEG), t…
Oxidation of preadsorbed propyne has been characterized on the Pt(111) surface in oxygen at pressures up to 0.009 Torr using fluorescence yield ultrasoft X-ray adsorption methods above the carbon K edge. A combination of temperature-programmed reaction spectroscopy (TPRS) and temperature-programmed fluorescence yield…
Abstract Tensile properties of Attacus atlas ( Saturniidae ) silk were measured in air, water, and ethanol. Control samples in air showed a large variability, so a normalization method was developed to enable comparison with the behavior of samples submerged in the liquid media. Amino acid analysis demonstrated that t…
Abstract We report the transcrystallinity of poly(vinylidene fluoride) on several different types of substrate materials. The supermolecular structure and its development were characterized with polarization microscopy, whereas differential scanning calorimetry was used for monitoring the isothermal and nonisothermal…
Abstract The large deformation failure behavior of gelatin–maltodextrin composite gels was assessed. All the studied compositions were selected to lie within the incompatibility domain of the gelatin–maltodextrin phase diagram at 60°C, which produced gelatin continuous (maltodextrin included) and maltodextrin continuo…
A numerically exact solution of the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation for noninteracting large-spin $(S=10)$ molecules in the presence of crystal-field anisotropy and time-dependent longitudinal magnetic field is performed. Crystal-field parameters and a field sweeping rate to fit experiment on ${\mathrm{Fe}}_{8}$…
Limited monomer solubility imposes very intriguing features on poly(p-phenylenebenzobisoxazole) polymerization. Only one type of functional group is detected at oligomer chain ends, and a high-molecular-weight polymer is obtained even when an excess of the monomer with low solubility is used. These remarkable phenomen…
We report an x-ray-scattering study of octahedral tilt ordering in the manganite series ${\mathrm{Pr}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Ca}}_{x}{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}$ with $x=0.4$ and 0.25 and in ${\mathrm{LaMnO}}_{3}.$ The sensitivity to tilt ordering is achieved by tuning the incident x-ray energy to the ${L}_{I},$ ${L}_{\ma…
We report image analysis of popping bubbles during the collapsing of two-dimensional (2D) and 3D aqueous foams. Although temporal and spatial correlations between successive popping bubbles within avalanches are emphasized, the breaking of a soap film at the air/foam interface seems to be independent of (i) the topolo…
Abstract The instability in water of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/poly(carboxymethyl cellulose) (CMC) was improved through radiation‐induced grafting with a styrene monomer. The PVA/CMC blend graft copolymer was used as a sorbent for dye wastes normally released from textile factories. The factors that may affect the sor…
Self-dynamics of water molecules has been studied in hydrated tricalcium silicate as functions of temperature, aging, and in the presence of an additive. A dynamical model taking into account the existence of "immobile water" and "glassy water" has been used to analyze quasielastic neutron spectrometer spectra. We ded…
Abstract Thermal analyses of poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐ co ‐3‐hydroxyvalerate) [P(HB–HV)], and poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐ co ‐3‐hydroxyhexanoate) [P(HB–HHx)] were made with thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). In the thermal degradation of PHB, the onset of weight loss…
[reaction: see text] We report here the first heterogenization of a bis(oxazoline) ligand on an inorganic (silica) surface. The activity and enantioselectivity of this new material as a catalyst for the Diels-Alder reaction were checked, and it was shown that under certain conditions enantioselectivities similar to th…
Abstract The molecular structure of the copolyester formed through the interchange reaction in poly(ethylene terephthalate)/poly(butylene terephthalate) blends was investigated with 13 C‐NMR spectroscopy. The molar fractions of heterolinkage triads in the copolyesters were lower than the values calculated by Bernoulli…
The dynamics of interacting F centers resulting in F aggregates and nanocavities is modeled in thermochemically reduced MgO single crystals. We have recently shown that thermal annealing of thermochemically reduced MgO with an exceptionally high F-center concentration $(6\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{18}{\ma…
The helical structure of the chiral nematic phases induced by chiral dopants in nematic solvents provides a macroscopic image of the molecular chirality of the dopant promoted by the orientational order. Chiral biphenyls are challenging systems because their twisting ability shows a strong dependence on the molecular…
Saccharide functionalization of fourth through sixth generation PAMAM dendrimers is reported. A widely applicable MALDI-TOF MS procedure for the analysis of the degree of dendrimer surface functionalization that is achieved in a reaction is also described.
Glassy states have been observed in hard-spherelike colloidal suspensions; however, some recent work suggests that a stable, one-component hard-sphere glass doesn't exist. A possible resolution of this dilemma is that colloidal glass formation results from a small degree of particle polydispersity. In order to investi…
